Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari made it clear Sunday night that he's not thrilled about his team getting sent to Boise for its NCAA Tournament opener Thursday night against Davidson.

After Calipari spoke on ESPN about how texts he received all agreed that UK "got screwed," estimated his team's flight to Boise would take six hours and suggested that some of his players didn't know what state Boise was in, Gonzaga head coach Mark Few was talking about his excitement over playing in Boise.

ESPN studio host Rece Davis: "We were telling Calipari earlier it's much easier to get to Boise than he seemed to realize."
